Title: | Voyage aux confins du monde avec le vin | Other Titles: | Travel to the ends of the world with wine | Authors: | Domingues, João | Keywords: | vin; histoire; mythologie; imaginaire; religion; wine; history; mythology; imaginary; religion | Issue Date: | 2021 | Serial title, monograph or event: | Carnets | Issue: | Deuxième série - 21 | Abstract: | « L'histoire du vin, n'est-ce pas l'histoire du monde ? » (Babrius, IIe siècle). Entre imagination et
histoire, le vin est l’un des tout premiers produits à avoir fait le tour du monde. De ses origines,
qui restent incertaines à bien des égards, jusqu’à sa mondialisation, la vigne et le vin ont fait
l’objet des histoires les plus extravagantes et joué les rôles les plus singuliers. N’en retenant que
celles qui se rattachent plus directement à notre culture et à notre histoire (et en partant surtout
de récits anciens – Platon, Lucien de Samosate, Pétrone ou Apulée – et de la mythologie grécoromaine
et chrétienne), nous essaierons, dans cette étude, de problématiser la portée et le(s) sens
possible(s) de ces histoires au fil des siècles ainsi que leurs rapports avec l’expérience du contact
avec ce nectar qui « met la joie au coeur »1. « Is the history of wine not the history of the world? » (Babrius, 2nd century). Between imagination and history, wine is one of the first products to have travelled the world. Since its origins, which have remained obscure for several reasons, to its globalization, the vine and wine have been the subject of the most extravagant stories and have played the most peculiar roles. Limiting ourselves to the ones directly related to our culture and history (essentially stemming from ancient narratives – Plato, Lucian of Samosata, Petronius or Apuleius – and both greek, latin and christian mythologies), we have attempted, in this essay, to consider the dimension and the meanings in those stories throughout the ages, as well as their relation to experimenting that nectar which « gladdens the heart » (Ecclesiast, XL: 20). |
